How May You Know?

"How may you know you love heri'
II the skies that band above her
Have her name forever on the blue;
II the flowers she wears are dearer
Than all others, II TO hear her
Speak is music sweet enough for you;
II to think upon your treasure
Brings you rapture without measure,
And the days without her incomplete;
II whate'er she loves is holy
To your sight II high or lowly,
And the pathways sacred by her feet;
II she seems a heavenly vision,
Fit to dwell In fields elysian,
Noble mind, and heart with love aglow
Then you may be sure you love her,
That the angels Ger you hover
In your choice to make heaven below.

A Bold French Adventures.

A Paris correspondent of The Lon
don Telegraph writes: One OF the
ablest and most remarkable adventnr-
esses who has ever appeared before The
Paris tribunals has just been tired for
series OF clever swindles. She is
thin, DELEGATE, amber visaged woman.
about forty years OF age. who dcscrib'
ed herself as q descendant OF the IA
nous First Grenadier of France. whose
name is still called out ut the muster
parades of his regiment the reply be-
ing dramatically given, "Dead, on the
field of honor" Her name, in short,
was printed on her cards as Henrietta
de la Tour dAuvergne, and she pass
ed as an illegitemate daughter of a
Prince of that house, and accordingly
as niece of the late Archbishop OF
Bourges and of Gen. de la Tour dAu-
vergne, who died in Algeria. Assum-
ing this title and name. the sham
Princess bamboozled lot of pious peo'
pie, priests and parvenus, who liked to
hang on to scion of nobility. and she
actually lived luxuriously and in great
state on the donations which were sent
to her for the poor. Strange to say,
the present Prince de Ia Tour d. Auver-
gne knew that the woman was
passing herself of as his natural sister,
but never took any proceedings against
her. 1t appears that the woman had
been nun, and while engaged in
hospital work was criminally assaulted
bv n reletive of one of the patients.
The man was condemned TO Ten years
solitary confinement, and the nun,
who became seriously i'll, had to leave
the convent and return to the world,
Then she began her career OF adven-
ture by pretending to make u match
between the daughter of Nine. Bigot
whom she had met in church, and {
Gascony gentleman. Nine. Bigot had
been mulcted for sum of .fl60, which
she lent as friend to the self styled
Princess. After this the murder was out.
Nine. Bigot discovered that the gentle
man from Gascony was amythcal per
sonage, and she accordingly commenc.
ed proceedings TO recover her money
During the trial the prisoners mask
was thrown off, and she stood revealed
before the gaze of the public as one

A BLOODY FIGHT.
One COlOred Man Cuts and
Stabs Another Five Times.

Nathaniel Tippct, a colored farmer
Lying in Fish creek bottom, and Alex
ander Sailed, hired man and living
with Tippet, had quarrel over a
couple of children living at Tippets
who had run away from home. Tip
pet accused Sailed of inducing them
to run away. Tippet met Sailed on
the road. The latter was on horse.
Tippet approached Sailed and stopped
the horse and the row began. Sailed
says he don't know how he got hold
of his knife or how he got off his
horse, but old man Tippet received a
cut across the breast six inches in
length; one from the ear along the
Jaw to the chin slit in the scalp aud
a stab in the left arm below the elbow.
This fight occurred Monday evening.
When Constable Crow went to Tip
pets Tuesday morning to arrest the
parties he found Sailed keeping the
flies of ot Tippet. A doctor had
dressed his wounds and pronounced
them not dangerous.

Old Showmen.


In his forty years rs q Snowman,
MIR. Seth Howes of course made the ac-
quaintance Of all the old ring perform
ers of note. Many Of them, he says,
are still living though very old, and,
as rule. very hearty and comfortable.
Mr.. Howes remembers them all. al
most with affection, and has often made
days journey to meet them and talk
over old times. He rejects the popular
notion that show men. or women either,
are dissolute, and gives long list of ex-
amplcs to prove the contrary. The
oldest living Snowman, he says. is
Mathew Buckley. now a small farmer
near Delavan. Wis Buckley is eighty
four and married his second wife four
years ago. He was famous vauter in
his day, and has lost not n bit of his
youthful enthusiasm. Some years ago
he visited Barnum here in Chicago.
Thomas Cooke, of the famous English
circus family, is still alive at the age of
eghty-three. He came to America
with company in 1882 John j. Ma
thans, the four-horse rider is alive at
great age. Moses Lipman, famous
vaulter, is now, at the age of seventy
or more. q pawnbroker in Cincinnati.
In the same city lives John Robinson,
once four-horse rider. now at the
age of seventy-six millionaire real
estate owner. He was the first to
take q circus into Texas. He was the
tutor of Jim Robinson. the famous
rider. Cadwall ader, another great
rider, married rich Quakeress, with
whom he is spending his declining
years in Philadelphia. Levi North, be-
fore mentioned, died not long ago He
was the first man to turn somer-
sault from feet to feet OH n horses back.
Ex-Gov. Ludington. of Wisconsin, has
been mentioned. He was once in
partnership with Mr.. Howe's brother.
The first circus men in this country
came from England. Among the
earliest arrivals were George Yeaman,
Samuel Tapner. and George Hunter,
all OF whom were famous in the first
two decades of this century. But the
Americans soon caught on, Mr..
Howes says, and soon surpassed the
Britons. Even in the early days the
riders and tumblers received good sal
aries. Howes & Gushing paid Jim
Robinson Gao week, besides the eX-
penses of himself, servant and !
horse. The great riders all have wha.
is known as natural balance with
out which no amount OF practice or in
structon is of much avail.
Descendants of nearly all these vet.
brands are in the ring to-day. Mr..
Howes himself has three nephews with
Forepaugh and predicts that the day
is far off when one or another member
of the family will not be at work under
q tent. Nor does he seem to deplore
the fact. - Chicago Letter.

Gen. r. NJ. Gano, 800.
Capt. w. White, 800.

The list and amount should be in
